Amazon Web Services is back down, taking dozens of sites with it

The source is the Android Centrall.

Amazon Web Services went down for the second time this month.
Many websites reliant on Amazon's cloud hosting services are down. It wasn't on T-Mobile Tuesdays.
It's not clear how long this outage will last, but here's hoping it doesn't take the rest of the day like it did last time.

It took dozens of apps and services with it, but Amazon Web Services is back up after a six-hour outage last week. DownDetector shows that many of the same sites have issues, including Disney+, Ring, and DoorDash.

The root cause of last week's outage was found by the service health dashboard and fixes are being implemented, but today's outage seems to be related to issues in Oregon and North California.

Internet outages bringing down a lot of the hosting service's infrastructure are inevitable, but the problem is that they are having trouble quickly redirecting the load of the downed facility to the rest of the network. Ring users are having trouble logging in or accessing their cameras, and many Amazon services are down, just like last week's outage.
